About This Quote

In our opposed forms of loneliness and self-recognition and recognition of the other, we touched each other often as we spoke; and on shore in explorations of the past, we strolled with our arms linked and gathered strength from the closeness. Simone de Beauvoir said: "In our opposed forms of loneliness and self-recognition and recognition of the other, we touched each other often as we spoke; and on shore in explorations of the past, we strolled with our arms linked, gathering strength from the closeness." This quote is a beautiful tribute to the power of love. When two people really love each other they feel it in every part of their being. They feel it in their heart and in their mind.

They see this love in that person's eyes and in their face when they look at that person. As they walk together hand-in-hand they feel all that love radiating from them both.
